*
And nations shall come to your light ,
and kings to the brightness of your rising .
*
Lift up your eyes round about ,
and see ;
they all gather together ,
they come to you ;
your sons shall come from far ,
and your daughters shall be carried in the arms .
*
Then you shall see and be radiant ,
your heart shall thrill and rejoice ;
because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you ,
the wealth of the nations shall come to you .
*
A multitude of camels shall cover you ,
the young camels of Mid '
ian and Ephah ;
all those from Sheba shall come .
They shall bring gold and frankincense ,
and shall proclaim the praise of the LORD .
*
All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you ,
the rams of Nebai '
oth shall minister to you ;
they shall come up with acceptance on my altar ,
and I will glorify my glorious house .
*
Who are these that fly like a cloud ,
and like doves to their windows ?
*
For the coastlands shall wait for me ,
the ships of Tarshish first ,
to bring your sons from far ,
their silver and gold with them ,
for the name of the LORD your God ,
and for the Holy One of Israel ,
because he has glorified you .
*
Foreigners shall build up your walls ,
and their kings shall minister to you ;
for in my wrath I smote you ,
but in my favor I have had mercy on you .
*
Your gates shall be open continually ;
day and night they shall not be shut ;
that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations ,
with their kings led in procession .
*
For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish ;
those nations shall be utterly laid waste .
*
The glory of Lebanon shall come to you ,
the cypress ,
the plane ,
and the pine ,
to beautify the place of my sanctuary ;
and I will make the place of my feet glorious .
*
The sons of those who oppressed you shall come bending low to you ;
and all who despised you shall bow down at your feet ;
they shall call you the City of the LORD ,
the Zion of the Holy One of Israel .
*
Whereas you have been forsaken and hated ,
with no one passing through ,
I will make you majestic for ever ,
a joy from age to age .
*
You shall suck the milk of nations ,
you shall suck the breast of kings ;
and you shall know that I ,
the LORD ,
am your Savior and your Redeemer ,
the Mighty One of Jacob .
*
Instead of bronze I will bring gold ,
and instead of iron I will bring silver ;
instead of wood ,
bronze ,
instead of stones ,
iron .
I will make your overseers peace and your taskmasters righteousness .
*
Violence shall no more be heard in your land ,
devastation or destruction within your borders ;
you shall call your walls Salvation ,
and your gates Praise .
*
The sun shall be no more your light by day ,
nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you by night ;
but the LORD will be your everlasting light ,
and your God will be your glory .
*
Your sun shall no more go down ,
nor your moon withdraw itself ;
for the LORD will be your everlasting light ,
and your days of mourning shall be ended .
*
Your people shall all be righteous ;
they shall possess the land for ever ,
the shoot of my planting ,
the work of my hands ,
that I might be glorified .
*
The least one shall become a clan ,
and the smallest one a mighty nation ;
I am the LORD ;
in its time I will hasten it .
